According to Emmanuel, his boss faced mockery for not having a male, with some people telling him that his wealth is useless without a son to inherit it and carry on his legacy.

Emmanuel further revealed that some friends advised his boss to marry another woman who could bear male children for him.

Fortunately, his wife conceived again and gave birth to a set of two boys in October 2025.

“My boss got married in February, 2011. By 2020, he and his wife already had six children, all females. Sadly, they lost one of them,” he wrote.

My boss happens to be the only son of his parents. So, as an Igbo man, he needed a son who would carry-on his family name.

He had acquired many landed properties. Numerous landed properties.

In his hometown alone, he has more than 40 plots of land he acquired by purchase. He has other ones he inherited.

Last year, he commenced building a massive house in his hometown that made people wonder whom he is building the house for.

He has houses in other places too. Some people openly asked him why he was building those kind of houses when he has only female children.

Some friends advised that he should get another lady who could give him male children.

I’m certain this gave him a serious concern and, no doubt, his wife feared that he would get a mistress purposely for having a male child.

She didn’t have a strong say where other women gathered.

There is a story that, at a certain meeting, a man went to the extent of asking my boss why he would be talking when people that are men were talking, all because my boss had no male child.

Well, on 12 October last year, God blessed my boss with a twin baby boys. God showed him that the thought of man is not the thought of God. That God is not a man.

It is this reason that made us to gather at St. Patrick’s Cathedral, Awka today to thank God for this gift He gave to my boss and his family. Praise the Lord.

I Can Take A Bullet For Churchill – Nollywood Actress, Rosy Meurer Declares (Video)

Nollywood actress Rosy Meurer has professed her deep devotion to her husband, Olakunle Churchill, saying she would take a bullet for him.

In an interview with Daddy Freeze, the Gambia-born actress shared that she loves Churchill deeply and feels secure in their marriage.

According to her, he has stood by her side over the years and has never abandoned or betrayed her.

She explained that their relationship has not been marked by serious conflict or physical fights, adding that he has consistently shown up for her and their family.

Rosy stated that beyond being the father of her children, she was already deeply in love with him before they started a family together.

She described her feelings at the time as intense, saying her attachment to him was so strong that people around her often noticed it.

She also addressed claims that she places her husband above everyone else.

The actress made it clear that while some people believe she “worships” him, she simply loves him because he treats her well.

The mother of two said she values care and affection over material gifts, explaining that kind words and small gestures mean more to her than expensive presents.

She said: “Oh, yes, and we love each other. Yes, me, I love Churchill. I love Churchill because I can take a bullet for him. At least he has proven to me he’s been by my side all this while. He has never abandoned me in any way. He has always come through for me. He’s the father of my kids. He has not betrayed me. He has not offended me. We have not fought to an extent where we are throwing blows or anything. So why won’t I take a bullet for the father of my kids?

“Before I even started having kids with him, I was very in love with him. Madly in love. It got to a point that you can’t even tell me at home what to do. Once Churchill comes, when Churchill says something, it’s final. I don’t care what anyone says. They will still tell me, ‘When it is Churchill, you worship him.’ I don’t worship him, I just love him.

“He treats me well. You would love who treats you well. Me, I don’t demand much. If you just show me small love like this, that’s it. It doesn’t even have to do with money. You don’t even have to buy me gifts. Just sweet talk me, tell me sweet things, you have got me, and that’s just it. If you add gifts, it’s bonus. But I will never complain that this person didn’t buy for me or that my eyes are outside. And he knows this about me.”

BBNaija Star, Neo Akpofure Reacts To R@pe Allegation, Threatens Legal Action

Neo Akpofure, the Nigerian reality TV star, has officially called for a public apology and retraction following allegations of s*xual assault circulating on social media.

Akpofure’s lawyers from E.L. Akpofure, San & Co. sent a legal notice to an 𝕏 (formerly Twitter) user, Ms. Arikan Udoka, who had posted allegations against him.

The post claimed that the alleged incident occurred while both were students at the University of Calabar (UNICAL) and described the encounter as non-consensual.

 

She also claimed they had previously been involved in casual s*xual relations.

 

His legal team denied the allegations, calling them false and damaging to Akpofure’s reputation.

They argued that the allegations portray him as a s*xual offender and have caused public shame and emotional harm.

The notice instructed Udoka to remove the post and any related content, issue a public retraction, and apologize for the statements.

It also requests a written promise not to make further defamatory statements.

The lawyers warned that if these demands are not met within 48 hours, legal action, including a civil suit for defamation under Nigerian law, will be pursued.

The notice read in part: “Your allegation is entirely false, malicious and defamatory to say the least.

“It portrays our Client as a s*xual offender and a criminal, thereby subjecting him to public odium, reputational injury, emotional distress, and severe personal and professional damage.”

I Was So Young And Innocent Then – Rosy Meurer Reacts After Netizens Dug Up Old Video Of Her Calling Tonto Dikeh Her ‘Family’

Rosy Meurer, the Nollywood actress, has responded to the resurfaced video showing her referring to Tonto Dikeh as her family.

Recall that Tonto Dikeh was married to Olakunle Churchill who is now Rosy’s husband.

Earlier, 626Blaze reported that Rosy had posted a video on her Instagram page, claiming she didn’t know Tonto at all and that she had never met the actress while Tonto was married to Churchill.

Rosy said she never had any feelings for Churchill at the time and that Churchill was like a brother to her and was helping her and her family before they got married.

Following this, social media users dug up an old video of Rosy calling Tonto’s family and saying she had hung out with the actress.

Now reacting to this, Rosy, in her Instagram story, claimed she was young and innocent and being dragged into something that didn’t concern her, hence the video. Now that she is older and wiser, she is speaking her real truth.

Rosy made it clear that no one can intimidate her and reemphasised that she knew about the reunion and reconciliation before it hit the internet, and that she has been 100 per cent in support.

“You want me to hang on to the nonsense old video I made years ago, where I explained all sorts of things due to the fact that I was so young and innocent.

The whole media thing was new to me, how I got dragged in wetin no concern me then, something I saw and was as lost as everyone else.

My husband, who was like a brother to me then, had to apologise to my family because he knew I knew absolutely nothing about what was said.

I was dragged into violence by force. With all the pressure, the PR team will make you say so many things, then, if you don’t feel it’s right.

Right now, whatever I say is THE REAL TRUTH.

I am older, I am wiser, and no one can intimidate me.

No PR team can force me to say what they believe will be better than my truth.

No one can control what I will say.

It is my life, and I know better than anyone else.

I’m not here to sweet-talk anyone or make anyone like me.

If you like, bring out videos of 1000 years ago where I said this or that, it doesn’t change my reality.

I knew my husband before he got married.

Why I no follow at that time.

So I waited for him to marry before he entered my eyes.

If you don’t know a story, shhhh”.

Court Adjourns Nigerian Rapper, Odumodublvck Alleged Assault Trial, Sets New Trial Date

The FCT High Court sitting in Life Camp, Abuja, has postponed the trial of Nigerian rapper Tochukwu Ojogwu, widely known as “Odumodublvck,” in an assault and battery case until April 8, 2026.

The claimant’s counsel, Uchenna Ojembe, and the defendant’s counsel, Taiwo Akinsulie, were in court for the trial of Odumodublvck but due to the ongoing renovation in the courtroom, the case was adjourned.

However, the counsels agreed on a date which is convenient for both parties to enable them commence the case.

The News agency of Nigeria (NAN) recalls that the claimant, a Nigerian musician, Ogbogiri Okey Levi, popularly known as “Kraziecent” had instituted a suit against Odumodublvck for violently assaulting and battering him in a public event sometime in December 2024.

Kraziecent in a civil suit alleged that while he was peacefully taking pictures and videos of himself at the event, Odumodublvck violently assaulted him for no reason.

He said that the defendant’s actions inflicted emotional distress on him and his iPhone 15 Pro Max was intentionally damaged in the process.

The claimant went further to seek an order of the court directing the defendant to pay the medical expenses incurred during his treatment.

Kraziecent also sought an order directing Odumodublvck to pay him N2 billion for damages.

He also sought an order directing the defendant to issue a public apology to him, through all the defendant’s social media platforms, including two national newspapers, among other claims in the suit.

How Can Somebody Boldly Preach Against An Act She’s Already Guilty Of? – Actress Rita Edochie Blasts Judy Austin

Nollywood actress Rita Edochie has criticized her husband’s nephew, Yul Edochie’s second wife, Judy Austin, over recent advice she shared with young women.

Earlier this week, Judy urged women to be “intentional” in their relationships. The actress also told women not to marry a man just because they got pregnant for him.

Rita Edochie has now responded, reminding Judy that she married Yul Edochie, a man who was already married after she got pregnant for him amid their extramarital affair.

Rita told Judy that she is not in a position to advice women when she is guilty of all that she is condemning.

There Will Be No Extension For 2026 UTME Registration – JAMB Declares

The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has confirmed that there will be no extension to the registration deadline for the 2026 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME). Candidates have been urged to complete their registration by February 26 to avoid missing the examination.

In a notice issued on Tuesday, the examination body announced that the sale of e-PINs, a mandatory requirement for registration, will close at midnight on Thursday, February 26, 2026.

According to the board, registration at accredited Computer-Based Test centres for candidates who have already purchased their e-PINs will end two days later, on Saturday, February 28, 2026.

As of February 17, JAMB disclosed that more than 1.5 million candidates had successfully registered nationwide.

Despite the figure, the board expressed concern that many eligible applicants had yet to take advantage of the exercise, noting that registration centres across the country were operating at barely 30 per cent of their daily capacity.

JAMB stated that it has the capacity to register about 100,000 candidates daily, far above the current turnout at centres.

“The Board wishes to clearly state that there will be no extension of the registration deadline,” the statement emphasised.

The examination body explained that its timetable forms part of a nationally coordinated calendar agreed upon by all examination agencies in the country.

It added that the UTME registration window was carefully structured to ensure a seamless transition to other public examinations scheduled to follow.

“Consequently, there is no available window for any extension, even if the Board were inclined to consider one,” it said.

JAMB cautioned that candidates who delay registration until the final days may encounter avoidable challenges, stressing that appeals would not be entertained once the deadline expires.

The board described the early warning as a proactive step to ensure that no serious candidate is shut out of the process due to procrastination.

With only days left before the vending deadline, prospective candidates were urged to obtain their e-PINs and proceed to accredited centres to complete their registration.

“All prospective candidates are urged to act now,” the statement concluded.

The 2026 UTME is expected to attract millions of applicants seeking admission into tertiary institutions across Nigeria, making strict adherence to the registration timeline crucial for aspirants nationwide.
